"How is this possible? I clearly closed the sheep pen last night, how could they still run out!" Ah Er was anxious and was about to open the barricades to drive the goats in.
"Wait!" Jiang Xue came over after hearing the noise. She took a closer look and said with a smile, "A'er, didn't you say yesterday that we still had a pregnant goat that hadn't come back? They should have come back. Be gentle and don't scare them."
Ah Er was slightly startled and looked at her in confusion.
Jiang Xue explained, "The sheep pen door is closed, so they can't get out. Ah Cai was tied to a tree yesterday, and they haven't been released yet."
Ah Er finally reacted and gently moved the barricades away. As soon as the barricades were moved away, the two goats bleated, walked into the tribe, and stood motionless in front of the sheepfold door.
Everyone was amazed: "Hey, they actually know how to come back?"
The goats seemed to be waiting for Ah Er. When they saw that Ah Er didn't come, they even looked back at Ah Er, as if urging him to come over and open the door.
Ah Er finally reacted and quickly ran over to open the door of the sheep pen.
As soon as the door opened, the goat walked into the sheepfold, found a pile of grass, lay down and became quiet.
Everyone looked at each other in disbelief, until Ah Er exclaimed, "The sheep really came back?"
"That should be the case." Jiang Xue smiled. "The remaining sheep probably won't be able to come back. However, it would be great if this pregnant ewe could come back."
Jiang Xue really didn't hold out hope that the goats would come back, but now she saw them, she suddenly had a bold idea: "A'er, you should work harder in the future. When you go out to cut grass for the goats, drive them out as well. Let them go to the forest to eat something fresh."
Ah Er waved his hands repeatedly: "No, I dare not. If we lose it, then we will..."
"It's okay. Even if you lose it, I won't blame you." Jiang Xue said, "If we really decide to farm in the future, it won't be realistic to rely on you alone to cut grass and feed the goats. Listen to me, I'll find a few more people to help you watch over them in the early stages. Once they're familiar with the farm, we can just send one person out. That person might even be a child who can't help at all."
"That's impossible! We can't catch up with the goat, so how can the children possibly catch up?" Xiaoxi said without waiting for Er to speak.
"yes……"
Jiang Xue waved her hand before they could finish their words and said, "You'll be right if you listen to me. It's just that Uncle Song and the others might have to work harder to make the hemp rope thicker than their fingers."
Asongbo asked, "What do you need such a thick hemp rope for?"
"Put it around the sheep's neck and let them lead it."
"This is easy. I'll do it right away." After saying that, Asongbo went into the cave to twist the hemp rope.
Jiang Xue really didn't expect that the goat that got lost yesterday would come back on its own today.
She subconsciously glanced at the white wolf.
It must be the White Wolf's credit. She walked up to it and patted its head: "Well done, I'll give you a chicken drumstick tonight."
The white wolf... turned his head away, unmoved.
Jiang Xue sneered, "Where did this guy learn this tsundere habit?"
The sheep that got lost yesterday has returned today. Jiang Xue is in a very good mood. She stretches and mutters to herself, "System, random sign-in."
[Random sign-in is being generated...]
[Please go to the mountaintop west of the tribe to sign in.]
Jiang Xue looked up at the top of the mountain in the west.
"You guys are busy, I'm going to go out for a walk."
I don’t know what’s so good about signing in at the top of the mountain. It’s so cold, and she actually has to go to the top of the mountain to blow in the cold wind.
Xiaohua quickly ran over and took her arm: "Sister Axue, I'm going too."
Jiang Xue did not refuse, and she couldn't find a reason to refuse.
He let her hold his arm and it took a lot of effort to climb to the top of the mountain.
Xiaohua looked thin and small, but she was strong and healthy. Jiang Xue was a little out of breath, but she looked like nothing happened, her face was not red, and she was not out of breath. Jiang Xue was envious of her.
“Sign in!”
[Successfully sign in randomly for 161 consecutive days and receive 161 achievement points and three additional Nine-toothed Rakes.]
Nine-toothed rake?
Jiang Xue raised her eyebrows. Could it be the Nine-toothed Rake of Second Senior Brother?
She opened the package and took a look, only to see an iron rake lying quietly inside.
After seeing it, I couldn't help but feel disappointed. It wasn't a nine-toothed rake at all, it was just an ordinary iron rake.
Jiang Xue sighed and shook her head. Xiaohua suddenly said, "Hey, the peach tree is in bloom!"
When Jiang Xue heard this, she stopped looking at the rake and quickly looked in the direction of her finger. Sure enough, next to a big rock, there was a peach tree with several pink flowers blooming.
"Really?" Jiang Xue's eyes lit up. It seemed that she would have to prepare for raising rice seedlings and reclaiming land after returning.
Generally speaking, peach trees bloom around the Spring Festival. The Snake Tribe has no knowledge of astronomy. Even if she has a system, there is no perpetual calendar in the system, so she has no idea what day it is.
Jiang Xue could only determine the approximate time by observing the changing seasons and the growth of plants.
But on second thought, it's almost time. She came at the end of September, and now she has been signed in for more than 160 days, which is almost half a year.
When peach trees bloom, it means spring has arrived!
"Let's go back quickly."
Jiang Xue quickly pulled Xiaohua down the mountain, and when they got outside the tribe, she began to enclose the land.
Now we have rakes, although there are only three of them, but using them to clear the wasteland is definitely better than using stones.
When planting early rice, the first thing to consider is the issue of water diversion and irrigation.
She chose for a long time and finally decided to set up the rice field under the trench at the exit of the tribe. It was very close to the tribe and more convenient for future field management.
The Snake Tribe has only one natural river, and growing rice is no different from growing other crops. Rice growth, whether it is raising seedlings or transplanting, or even its future field management, requires a lot of water.
Instead of moving away from the river, it would be better to cultivate the rice fields here first and then expand them little by little in the future.
As soon as they saw Jiang Xue preparing to dig the ground, everyone in the tribe gathered around.
Jiang Xue was not polite and ordered them to pick up stones.
There is strength in numbers. In half a day, they picked up all the stones, branches and other things in the place planned by Jiang Xue.
Then, in full view of everyone, Jiang Xue took out three iron rakes and said, "I only have three rakes right now. Today we need to dig up all the soil in this field and dry it out. Then we need to pick out the grass roots and stones buried in the soil."
Everyone had never seen such a good tool before, and they were all eager to try it out and wanted to come over to dig the ground.
